Light off the ocean, thought it was a star then grew brighter and came closer to shore, then abruptly flew to horizon and vanished I was at the beach at about 10pm on Black Friday. I was just looking at the stars and I was the only one at the beach access. All of a sudden, what I had previously thought was a star, a light in the sky, started growing much brighter.
At first I thought it was a drone flying in off the ocean and sort of dismissed it. The light was a greenish sort of color. Then suddenly, the ball of light which was now decently bright, just shot down towards the horizon line and vanished.
In fact it dissappeared before it even hit the ocean, which is when I knew something weird was going on. I immediately went to the next beach access over to see if someone else had seen it too, and there was only one guy there but he was on the phone and would not talk to me so Im not sure if he had also seen it. All I know is that there's no way it couldve been a plane or regular aircraft the way it moved, it shot down towards the horizon so quickly.
It dissappeared right before reaching the ocean. It was hard to tell how far from the shore it was. I only decided to file this report after seeing a news story about a similar sighting in satellite beach earlier this year, and I swear to you the picture in that story looked just like what I saw but what I saw was more green and not orange.
Once I saw that story I was kind of like man maybe what I saw was really something if I'm not the only one. So yeah that's basically it, just light no noise or anything.

First spotted, east going west, slowed over Patrick SB, then turned north. Watched until it slowly became too small to see. January 9, 2022, at about 9:50 pm, we saw a large orange ball fly in from the southeast over the Atlantic, in from over the ocean at fairly good clip and as It came over shore, above Patrick Space Force Base it slowed and slowly changed course to a more due northern route.
It continued north until I couldn't see it any longer. There was no sound, it flew a direct course, northwest. It didn't flash, just a constant large orange and it was much larger than a light on an airplane or a jet.
It was round and it was a ball. It wasn't search light. We could see it from when it first appeared, out over the ocean to when it disappeared about 10 minutes going north.

Last night of FL vacation observed a large red object sitting in or near T-storm over ocean near Cape Canaveral. My wife and I were spending the last evening of our Florida vacation watching the storms over the Atlantic Ocean, east of our condo in Satellite Beach Florida. This was on 08/20/2020.
We were sitting on the beach, just out of reach of the surf, or so we thought, that plays a part in a moment. The storms were quite a ways out, at least 4 to 5 miles or more. To our north is Cape Canaveral and Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.
While sitting and talking we were also taking short video clips of the storms and the beautiful lightening displays within them. While doing so we noticed quite a few aircraft moving about in the vicinity of the storms, some getting very close and we remarked about how one would think that the pilots would try to avoid flying into the storms. Most of the aircraft were far enough away they were just blinking dots.
At approx. 2200 hrs I noticed that one of the aircraft appeared to be much closer, or actually much larger, than the others we had been seeing as it was bright, comparable to Venus in the night sky. It was a steady red color and not moving: It was in or at the north edge of the storm front.
I noted this to my wife and she said it was just another aircraft. But it was NOT moving. I noted there was an aircraft moving northeasterly to the north of the larger light, and one moving due east away from the large light.
These were clearly much further away or much smaller objects. I watched the object sitting, not moving, for approx. one minute.
I started my phone to record video of this (so I thought) and just as I did a large wave came in and struck us as we were not far enough away from the increasing waves lol. This caused us to grab our stuff and quickly retreat further back on the shore. I refocused my attention after this brief, just a few seconds of clamoring up a few feet, interruption of viewing the object and it had now moved.
It was now northwest of where it had been, still just as large and bright, but now it was roughly in between the two other mentioned air craft which were still moving the directions they had been. By my estimation it was now sitting just east of Cape Canaveral. I went to continue filming and realized my phone had not started filming, my error, and when I did get the video to start I aimed my phone back toward the object in question it was now gone.
Some things of note: There had been a launch of some kind from the cape on Tuesday 08/18/2020 I believe. There was another launch scheduled for the next Monday I believe also. We were near both a spacecraft launch area and an USAF base.
Other than the roar of the ocean there were no sounds detected. I am a LEO (going on 20 years) and also a lifelong believer in our planet being visited by other entities from other worlds, but have never experienced anything first hand related to this belief. I am a lifelong resident of Oklahoma and not a resident of Florida thus I don’t know what lights and craft are “normal” in the night skies, but I don’t think apparent instantaneous acceleration is normal and this object exhibited that twice.
I decided that I was likely not seeing anything out of the ordinary and was going to let it go, as in not report to NUFORC, which I am aware of thanks to Coast to Coast AM. That is until I was catching up on recorded shows on my DVR and began watching the latest episode of “Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigations” on the History channel. This newest episode was talking about sightings of orange or red objects off the U.
S. east coast, including Florida. Thus I am making this report.
I have no idea what I saw but it displayed things that stood out: Larger, apparently, than surrounding objects that were clearly aircraft. One solid color, red, displayed. No other flashing lights to indicate aircraft position etc.
It moved twice at a high rate of speed: Once when I had to move my position, and again when I activated my phone camera. It moved completely out of sight on the latter. Thank you for your work collecting these sightings!.

Big bright white sphere over the sky that looks bigger than a full moon, without making a sound. On July 16, 2016, I went to Satellite Beach with my family at the board walk we stop to take some family pictures, my camera caught a big round white sphere next to the sun, for an instance I thought it was the moon, but I turned my head and was able to see the moon clearly on the other side, then I took another picture of this strange body that looked like another planet, but bigger than the moon, I do have pictures of this sighting. ((NUFORC Note: Lens flares.
PD)).

Three bright orange objects in sky of east/southeast of Florida. I was out walking my dog and saw three orange objects in sky to east/southeast. The were stationary for a few minutes then one quickly shot up and was gone, after about 15 seconds the second one did the same.
The third object remained for about a minute and then was gone. I see helicopters and planes here all the time and these object were quiet and when they moved were beyond the speed of anything I have ever seen.

3 barely visible Dark brown lights in triangle formation heading NE across Sat Bch Florida. Last night on December 22, 2011 at 10:55pm I was lying on my driveway admiring the stars when I saw three large dark brown orbs zip across the sky. If I hadn’t been looking in just the right spot I would have missed it.
It flew across the entire horizon in about 5 seconds heading NE (30 degrees). I couldn’t determine wither or not it was three separate lights or a whole craft, I want to say that it was not a formation because I didn’t observe any stars within the possible area of the craft. The color of the orbs was more of a dark brown than a dark red.
Determining the size of the craft was more difficult, from my perspective the craft was 1 1/2“ to 2” in size. Regardless of the craft’s size and altitude it traveled at incredible speeds with no sound. Human aircraft was in the area but I didn’t see any.

Bright hovering object due east of Satellite Beach visible to naked eye - what is it? This is my second reporting within a couple of weeks. This sighting seems more convincing than last posting in that the sparkling object has multiple lights, including a blinking series of lights at bottom and left hand side, almost like flashlight strength from helicopter. The object's location in sky is right at sea/sky's horizon due east of Satellite Beach, lower and nearer than past reporting.
The movement of the object is small darts or pendulum like swings to left, right and up. The object is not on the same movement/trajectory up into the sky as was last reported of possible Venus/Mars location. This object has not ascended but has rather remained in a hovering position at same eye level as a cruise ship that would be on the horizon leaving Port Canaveral.
This is clearly not a cruiseliner, but appears to be circular or some sort of patroling device due to the light projectory twinkling like a star and like it is looking intently for something over the ocean. It is nearer to the surface and to the shoreline than last reporting. The movement is more pronounced as hovering or observing than "ascending into the sky" with Earth's rotation.
it is now 31 minutes into my observation and the object is clearly some sort of craft due to the smaller light on bottom left, and movement resembling that of a darting insect, not a star or planet. Hope this helps, it's bizarre, and I'm returning to sleep. If I wake up again I will submit another update of what I am seeing.

Naked eye watching early morning sky finds Mars planetary movement vs.an unidentifiable object hovering like a helicopter Not sure if we are seeing Mars and effects of Earth's rotation, but very noticably bright flashlight type object with "hovering" movement resembling pendulum like left, up and right, almost helicopter like. Object appeared at distance of 4 index fingers measured from ocean surface to air, and at last viewing over 2 hours had moved to position of 12 index fingers from ocean surface to air.
now, at 6:15 appearing more as "bright morning star" or planet Mars.movement not as pronounced now as it was at first sighting. During this two hour period also witnessed two falling stars, satellites and planes with distinctive qualities from this bright object.

4 flashing strobe-like objects move rapidly across the nite skyline and disappear into a light forming a many colored fast moving ob My husband and I had rented an oceanfront condo for a 2 week vacation on Satellite Beach. Every nite we went on the balcony,3rd floor of the 3 storey building, to look at the moonrise and nite sky. My husband was on the balcony and as soon as I joined him, I looked out and saw a flashing lite off to my left coming off the point at Cape Canaveral which was about 10:00 with due East being 12:00 and about 30-40 degrees above the horizon.
I of course assumed it was a plane but immediately noticed that the light was flashing more like a strobe lite. I was amazed at its speed, faster than any aircraft but slower than if it had been a meteorite; it also had a red flashing strobe light appearance simultaneously with the bright white strobe flashing.I ran downstairs to watch it at ground level.
From the time I spotted the light, ran downstairs, and saw it again, it had moved across the horizon to where the moonrise had been the previous nite, approx at 2:30 with 12:00 being due East, and then was out of site. My husband had stayed on the 3rd floor and saw what I had seen and I rejoined him. I then spotted another lite, identical to the first and starting in the same location.
There were 2 more following behind it for a total of 4 including the first one. The subsequent three followed the exact path across the horizon with the same incredible speed and flashing bright white, red and occasional green strobe-like lights. Then there appeared in the south east of the horizon an orange glowing orb and the 3 rapidly moving flashing objects disappeared into the glowing orb.
The orb then faded and an object of numerous colors came from this area and sped off at a high speed in a westerly projectory over the coastline and disappeared. My hushband pointed out that the lights seen resembled a frequency of brightness and color as seen from gaseous ionization. Satellite Beach is maybe 15 miles South of Cape Canaveral; I first saw the flashing objects off of the Cape.
Three days later, on April 20th at 4:27pm, NASA launched an Atlas rocket, which we also saw from our condo location.

UFO sighted in Satellite Beach,FL close encounter 4 blocks from beach I was walking my dogs around midnight and was on my way back home. For some reason I looked up into the sky and and image flashed before my eyes. It happened so fast! It was a rosey color with 2 black doorways or could of been motiffs.
Inside appeared to be a long horizontial window within each doorway. I could only see this side, I didn't see top or bottom. There was no sound and I didn't see it arrive or depart.
The part that bothers me is it was so close, just above the tree tops. This sighting was about 2=3 houses from where I live. I was facing north west.
I live about 4 blocks from the ocean. The dogs didn't seem to notice anything, no barking. This took place on or after midnight.
I tried to put in 06/01/2005, but it would not accept in the form. I only have a webtv unit, maybe that's the reason. I also reported this before, but I didn't see it listed.
I also had a strange dream or experience 2 nights later. I was standing and what appeared to be a human aimed a gun like object at my torso and I remember my stomach burning. I could not move.
Later on I remember telling him not to do that again. The gun was about 16" long clear and blue. The entire experience really did scare me and I can't seem to put it aside.
I had sent a sketch of this sighting last week via email.

Illuminous rose colored craft sited in Satellite Beach. I was walking my dogs late night(sometime around midnight early morning 12:10 June1) and was on my way back home, about 3 houses away. I looked up and above the tree tops I saw a close up of a very large craft,rose in color, no sound.
It was so close, I saw at least 2 black wide doorways/motifs with a narrow horizontial window located in each. I believe it was either circular or oblong. I could not see the top or bottom and it had no obvious lights, but it was luminated.
The strange feeling I got was whomever was inside wanted to make sure I saw it, reason for it being so close. I didn't see it arrive and it was gone in a flash. I still wonder why I looked up at that moment.
Two nights latter I had a dream or maybe it was an experience, I'm not sure. Someone who appeared to be human was holding a gun like object aimed at my torso, which slightly burned and I could not move. It was clear & blue about 16" long.
Latter in this happening I saw the gun again and I remember saying "Don't use that again". I was in a standing position. I was scared from the moment I saw the UFO and having the experience/dream didn't help.
I still wonder if it's going to reappear, but my fear isn't as intense. I would of reported this earlier, today I just found the website.

Up date on UFO sighting & new information on encounter This is an update of an UFO event that happened back in 05/30/2005. I never put in the report what happened just before I saw the UFO. I was walking my dogs around midnight & was almost back home.
I had just passed my neighbor's house who had the United States flag placed on the house. I recall seeing the flag moving in the breeze & then everything began to quiver around me. The next thing I remember was looking up at the UFO.
I believe I was taken right when the quivering took place & returned when I looked up & saw the UFO. I think they wanted me to see them. It's been 8 years since this happening.
Some time after this event I also had a different experience, which involved a close encounter with a being. I had lost track of time & the dogs wanted out. I got as far as the end of my driveway & saw a small being in a white space suite & helmet across the street.
It was on the side of my neighbor's house. I froze, dogs didn't bark. I immediately turned around! & went back to my house & got a flashlight.
I looked at the time & it was about 1:40 am. When I returned to the end of the driveway the being was gone. The being was about the size of a 8-10 year old child.
The white suite had bulbous arms an also bulbous legs on the upper part. I saw no face, I guess it had it's back toward me. I no longer walk my dogs after dark.
These happenings have haunted me ever since. There are times I wish there was a support group for people like me who have had UFO related experiences. I was so scared I never reported the last incident until now.
I was afraid the military was going to come & take me away. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD)).
